Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomThat we couldn’t stay longer!
Amazing location, super rural, spectacular scenery, exceptionally quiet. Well off the beaten track and far from civilisation, perfect getaway for outdoor adventurers. If you want luxury and wall to wall restaurants and shops, this is not for you.

United KingdomBecause of when we stayed, the resturant wasn’t open both nights and the although the food was good on the night it was open, the menu choice was quite small. No problem with dietary requirements such as gluten free and vegetarian. Good pub, Colliers Arms, just down the road so not a problem on the night resturant was closed, although booking advised.
Location, cleanliness, owners and staff all really helpful. Not our first time here, and won’t be the last.

United KingdomThe only thing we won't say we didn't like but could be better is that there was only enough towel and bits for 2. But I'm sure if you asked for more, they would be able to accommodate. We had some with us anyway. And the taps. As we weren't sure whether they could be drunk from
The view and scenery were absolutely amazing. Lots of places to take the dog for a walk, take a stroll through the woods, or use the bike park, which is practically on the doorstep. The beds were comfortable, and the hosts were very friendly and welcoming. The food they served was perfect, and parking is easily accessible.

United KingdomNothing really, the main double bed mattess was a bit soft but that's preference. The bedroom was warm and cosy. Everything was great.
The scenery was incredible, and we were able to watch the sunset from the decked patio. The place had everything you needed for a self-catering catering trip. It was quiet, which was perfect for us and our dogs. You are provided with a bbq if you want to use it but there is an oven and microwave inside, a tv with a firestick and a good sized bathroom.

United KingdomNothing specific to stay.
The hills and the valley on the balcony were amazing. The cabin was very clean and had utensils. Good wifi connections which we used most times as it was raining throughout the stay. The owners were friendly and approachable. We ( with with 15 months old baby) had dinner at the restaurant which was good as well.

United Kingdomsome signs of wear and tear.
absolutely perfect for a cycling weekend! Beautiful location with great facilities. Reasonably basic inside but would accommodate a large group. Cooking facilities and an attractive Veranda . Magnificent views across the valley. Just needs a little bit of tender care as it is showing a little bit of wear and tear. Great value for money.

United KingdomThe lock in the room was broken and it was quite difficult to close the door. A food is a bit too high in carbs. I would recommend making the food more balanced, or at least adding some vegetables. For example, I ordered lasagne and chips (it's like a meal, you can't just order lasagne). It's already full of carbohydrates and there was also garlic bread. It would have been much better to have a fresh salad instead of the bread/chips. My husband had the chicken burger and there were no vegetables, just a bun, chicken and mayonnaise.
Beautiful location, you can enjoy a stunning mountain view while sitting outside or inside the restaurant. Clean and comfortable rooms. Close to the Afan Bike Park and biker friendly.

United KingdomNothing really as we loved it but pointing out it needed a new bathroom door lock as I got trapped in it twice! Ha ha! and the door itself wouldn't stay shut without using the dodgy lock. Shower needs unblocking as slow to drain too. But I doubt staff know about these things if their guests don't tell them so it's not a criticism on them at all, just letting them know so they can fix them for future. All in all it was excellent and I'd really recommend it to others. Staff are lovely and helpful too.
Amazing views and excellent staff who were very helpful and friendly. I loved it and would definitely come back. Beds comfortable too and the cafe does lovely food and drink. Thank you so much for a fantastic stay in a beautiful place x
